With exactly one skein of my new yarn, I’ve knitted a hat today. I love it! The first pic is blurry, my apologies:
That’s the sort of striping I was after. I’m pleased. Now what to do with the other skein… hmm…
For a little hooky (and needle-y) inspiration, I give you some new-found patterns and pictures!

There’s not a pattern for these, but I thought they were gorgeous Christmas ornaments and I’m sure they could be easily improvised.
This cute beach cover-up is going to be a must-make for the summer, I think. Pattern here!
This cute pinwheel cushion pattern is free on Ravelry.
This different blanket pattern is gorgeous, and also free on Ravelry. The pattern’s in French, but there’s a chart, so it’s understandable.

Such a cute vest pattern, and it’s free here.
I’m not sure about knitting socks yet, but this free pattern might be the first one I try.
So that’s it for the day! Hope you’ve enjoyed both my hat and the other lovelies. See you soon!


The hat looks good! Love that French blanket! Thanks for sharing.
I just found the ATERG crochet shop on eBay this morning. Beautiful things! Think my purse might be taking the strain very soon. There is a similar pattern for crochet balls? Baubles? on the second page.
Doh, should say etsy not eBay! It all begins with E!
ATERG (Greta!) is who I bought my owl pattern from…she’s talented.
Like the hat!
